lyrics

There’s a man you know
You’ve met him many times.
Ringside in every war
And in the minstrel’s rhymes.
Yet he surprises you again and again,
He’s just the enemy disguising as your friend.

Pursuing victory until he stands alone,
And in his empty keep he’ll sit upon his throne,
Reigning over everyone and everything,
Because he wants to be
The Cemetery King

When night falls everywhere
And the band begins to play.
All stand to raise a toast
To Mr. Saturday.
A sea of shining faces, misery below.
And Baron Nobody pretending as a crow.

Pursuing history until it happens soon,
In his forsaken keep, the Shadow of the Moon,
Holding it over everyone and everything,
For he desires to be
The Cemetery King

The lie of loneliness
He’ll visit upon you
Then stare you in the eye
As if his words were true.
Wherever cards may fall,
The Tower is struck down
Though he still plays the Fool
Beneath that broken crown.

Pursuing emptiness until The Day is done,
And in his hollow keep he’ll be the Lonely One,
Lording it over everyone and everything,
Because he aspires to be
The Cemetery King
